24Kitchen ends television broadcasts and moves to Disney+

The culinary television channel 24Kitchen is ending its linear broadcasts and migrating its entire content offering to the Disney+ streaming service. The brand, which launched in 2011, plans to continue producing Dutch content and new cooking programs for the digital platform.

The culinary television channel 24Kitchen is ceasing its traditional broadcast operations after more than a decade on air. Launched on October 1, 2011, the channel became a staple for food-related programming in the Netherlands, featuring a mix of local and international chefs. Moving forward, the network will shift its entire library and future content to the streaming platform Disney+.

While the specific details regarding the upcoming schedule on Disney+ remain unclear, 24Kitchen has confirmed that the platform will continue to feature Dutch programming alongside new culinary productions. The channel has historically been home to well-known personalities such as Rudolph van Veen, Miljuschka Witzenhausen, and Hugo Kennis, as well as global icons like Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay. This transition marks the end of the brand's era as a standalone linear television network.
